Part of what makes human beings socially ‘challenged’ is our limited imagination.  We feel that we can mount and manage only a limited number of social roles.  We are schooled to fill a selection of these from earliest childhood.  In how many ways did the powers that be, the adults in charge of us send the message: we will be allowed a share of the common good, if and only if we are perceived to pull our oar.  Societies reasonably feel that they have a desperate interest in institutionalizing ‘the means of reproduction’.  In Jewish law, commandments orbit around the desideratum of maximizing reproductive potential to secure the perpetuation of Jewish tribes.  Bestiality and male homosexual intercourse waste valuable seed.  Rape and adultery undermine the common good by stealing fields in which other tribal males are entitled to sow.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F6E0D1F2-4F48-4E9F-B8D6-28DB78DF61C0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
